thought only visible light existed right There was no infrared
invented unquote like that they couldn't see was pretty much
all lumped together with the dark Yeah and therefore it
wasn't a type of light Well in this experiment Herschel
allows sunlight to pass through a prism that disperses it
into its component colors right colors of a rainbow like
a frog song About that Well he measures the temperature
of each of these colors and sees that the temperature
increases as he moves from blue to red Right Well
then there's one area that he measures with his thermometer
that increases in temperature but which doesn't appear to the
naked eye as a component color of light As the
pastor says this made him think But there must be
another type of light right Well being able to detect
stuff that's invisible to humans through science Out now that's
hot right So the answer is a The sun emits 00:01:18.13 --> [endTime] many different types of light Duff
